Location was good, about a 12-15 minute walk from the White House. Room was fine, clean and all you could need. It was located under the lobby so therefore we still got free wifi which was a big plus. Air conditioning unit was very loud.

It was a perfect place for a mother and 2 kids in their thirties.
And you don't get breakfast for $ 5 anywhere else in the world.

I wasn't there to sit at a pool or work out at the gym. It was a great stay. Convention center took me 15 minutes to walk to and at the other end with the monuments it also took 10 to 15 minutes.

This property has been on Booking.com since Nov 6, 2009.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

We did not have a bad experience.

The hotel was clean, the staff pleasant, the beds comfortable and the location quite satisfactory. We particularly appreciated the air-conditioning in the room as it was very hot and humid while we were in Washington.

Not accessible: The lobby can only be reached by climbing a flight of stairs from the street level. The WiFi is only available in the lobby.
It may be an issue of the location (Washington DC was built on swamp-land) or the season (I visited in very hot humid summer), but the towels and sheets in my room were never quite dry.

Great location, very walkable neighborhood close to DuPont Circle area, with lots of restaurants and nightlife.
Walkable to the White House.

We dealt with a few receptionists during our stay. They were generally quite rude and unhelpful. When trying to book an airport shuttle one receptionist tried to book a taxi for me instead costing $75, I needed to be in the airport for 6, he expected me to believe that a shuttle bus would have to pick me up at 1 or 2am and it would take 3-4 hours to get to the airport. We were very disappointed with this. In the end our shuttle was perfect and cost $21 each. Maybe there was some personal connection with the taxi driver?

Location was good, about a 12-15 minute walk from the White House. Room was fine, clean and all you could need. It was located under the lobby so therefore we still got free wifi which was a big plus. Air conditioning unit was very loud.
